Identifiers (UIDs)

ApiXV generates globally unique UID's to identify various entities in API requests and responses. These can be recognised by the _uid postfix. If multiple UID's can be supplied (for example when searching for multiple hotels) we refer to it with the _uids prefix. Multiple UID's in parameters can be supplied using comma separated notation (for example: hotel_uids=AXH-qCzrQmMQvRPa,AXH-qCzrQmMWriE7,AXH-qCzrQmTsywzN)

ApiXV UID's are encoded to be safe to use in URL's and therefore will only contain lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and dash characters (a-zA-Z0-9-).

uid	Description	Example
hotel_uid	Unique code assigned to each hotel	`AXH-C6HRPHgmFBk`
option_uid	Unique code assigned to a availability option of a particular hotel offer and room type	`AXO-qGGXTiLz1d3W6vXoc1Z`
quote_uid	Unique code assigned to a requested quote	`AXQ-MmU8mwQNoquB5BuKB8HSoCY4`
booking_uid	Unique code assigned to a created booking	`AXB-K3E8CvtRnoaf1MuejgJJndvuYTKMALtLksRVj`
cancellation_uid	Unique code assigned a booking cancellation	`AXC-YTKMALtLksRVj`

ApiXV uid's must be regarded as temporary identifiers. This means UID's cannot be externally cached or stored for longer use. The underlying algorithm could change at any time during the BETA phase, causing all uid's to potentially change.
